works will be located where they »ill have the greatest effect In the making of the state, and the conse quent good of the nation. The prob lem now before the investigators is where to locate the works—whore to find a place that is feasible and where the land will justify the ex pense. When this place of places >s found and has been proven to be good, the works will be started. State Legislation Needed. The greatest thing that the date could do to help the men who have charge of the government work would be to see that there is suita ble legislation enacted, so that when the time comes for the construction to begin there will be no trouble over water rights, and no injustice done The men of the state should see that there is a commission appointed who will be competent and willing to in vestigate all of the points of such a measure: to examine into the prior rights of those who now are using the streams, to determine the num ber of inches that each man would be in justice entitled to use. and then draft all of their findings into a bill for the next session of the legisla ture. But as far as being able to tell what would be the ultimate outcome, it was impossible, for the engineers did not know themselves what the department would do with taeir rec ommendations. Mr. Williamson and Mr. Moody also made short talks on the subject, as did some of the men of the city, and at the conclusion of the meeting an informal discussion was indulged in by those most interested in the movement.

WHAT MADE IT SO* Many people are coming in with the report that the wheat is better than they thought, large, plump and fine Many people are coming in with the report that the shoes sold at the big Boston Store are better than others and they want some of them. They are large, plump and fine. It is a fact we do pay the manufacturer more for a shoe to sell at a given price than others do, and thus we secure greater value. We sell shoes at a less expense per dollar’s worth than any other concern in the city, and therefore we can afford to hanaie such lines as the Doug las for men. Gloria for women, and Red School House for children. Douglas is the largest manufac turer of welt shoes to sell at $3. $3.50 and $4 in the world, and we certainly have a representative line, one that will astonish you. The Gloria »3.50 shoe for women is the best shoe at this price sold the Amencan public today. We find each season an increase of trade—why is it? Merit that con firms buying opinion. Good wear combined with good looks and comfort. Oh yes, we must not overlook the Red S. H. shoes. They fit the school boys and girls. We have kinds for each.

Byer« the Only Complainant Today—Asks That His Assessment Be Reduced From $45,000 to $33,- 000—Total Assessmnet of County $9,629.506.22. The work that has for so long taken the time and efforts of the as sessor and his deputies, has at last been completed, and the assessment rolls are now before the board of equalization. This board is compos ed of County Judge G. A. Hartman. County Clerk W D Chamberlain, and County Assessor C. P. Strain. The board met this morning and at once took up the work of hearing objections that might be made as to the valuation of the property as list ed on the rolls. Then* were several men at the ses sion of the board this morning but few of them had come to make com plaint at the valuation of their projt- erty. They came to straighten out the assessment on mortgages that were held by them but which had l»een satisfied. There are one or two property holders who claim poverty as an ex cuse for the nonpayment of their taxes, but these have been exempt ed in the books and do not take ur the time of the court this year as they did last. In fact, last year the board of equalization had notutng tc lo for the reason that no one appear ed before them, but this year they seem to have but little business. A delegation of the residents of Butter creek are in the city to ap •>ear before the board to ask them tc scale the assessment on the cattle 'hat they buy to feed each year These men are in the habit of going to the banks in the fall and borrow ing money enough to buy a sufficient number of cattle to eat the hav they raise during the summer. In this way they do not own the cattle they have, in fact, but are interested •hieflv in the profit. They borrow thu. cattle, in fact, and in the spring -sell them and returning the money borrowed to the banks, keeping the •irofits for themselves. In view of this condition the men do not think that they should have to pay full taxes on the cattle and ask for a reasonable deduction at the hands of the board The only one who has made com nlaint so far. on the valuation of heir property, is W 8. Byers Hit property was assessed at $45.000 mill, race and all. Byers, through his attorneys. Balleray & McCourt claims that the valuation is excea sive and wishes the board to scale '.he assessment to »33.000. What c tion the -board will take in the mat ter is not yet known, but there te reason to believe that the amount issessed will stand. The books have all been halanced through the alphabet and the as sessment of the countv foots up a total of »9 629.506.22. Th s is an in creas.» of 64 per cent over the as sessment of the last year. In the estimation of the assessor this is a fair and reasonable valuation. In his assessment he has simply divid ed the valuation of the property as riven him. by three, and used the result as the assessable value of the property He applied this rule to all - lasses of property regardless of the ownership. FOURTEENTH. Expected That the City Schools Will Open on That Date. The public schools will open here on the 14th of the coming month un less something that is not now fore seen comes up to prevent. If the weather becomes too hot. or if there is too much sickness in the city at that time the date of the opening will lie postponed, but as these are far fetched conditions, it is safe to say that the schools will be opened at the regular time. The work on the heating plant is progressing as fast as tne men can get the piping in, and by the time the schools are ready to open, the plant will be installed. The work on the old academy building is fast nearing the end. and by the time the rooms are needed the workmen will be out of the way. WII of the teachers have been se cured, and the indications are that there will be a good attendance from the first day. Letter« of Guardianship. Albert E. Heller petitioned the pro bate court .this morning io have let ters of guardianship issued to him in the case of the estate of John n. Hel ler. Maude E. Heller and George P Heller. The prayer of the petitioner was granted and the county clerk was ordered to issue letters to him on the filing of his bond. HAVE OLD WHEAT Walla Walla County Farmer» Have 60.000 Bushel« of Last Year's Crop. Probably the only big farmers of the valley who were not sufficiently tempted to sell last year's crop are Minnick Brothers, extensive wheat raisers of the Spring Valley neigh borhood. says the Walla Walla Statesman George Minnick, the s«-n 'or member of the firm, was in Walla Walla today and stated that his firm had something like 60.000 bushels of wheat stored along the line of the O R & N. The wheat is mostly of the club variety and at prevailing prices If worth in the neighborhood of »42.- boo. Mr Minnick this morning said he was in no hurry to sell as he be lieved the top price had not yet beet reached, nor would it be until later in the season. Threshing on the Minnick farms was finished up last week. The yield was somewhat less than last year, th? average l>eing about 30 bushels Tie wh-?at was hauled and stored as fast as threshed and no loss was sustained by the late rains. HEPPNER FUND. lay of the country are very much in favor of the enterprise. These facts are causing some flur ry in real estate here, and there Is considerable inquiry for property in the village. Quite a number of cabins are be ing built by those who recently tiled homesteads, and the belief becomes more prevalent even among those who had no faith, that something will ultimately be done to reclaim this vast tract. This enterprise, if found feasible and developed, would ce-ielnly be a great boon to this part of the coun try in particular, and to the state in general, and therefo-e should have the hearty endorsem *rt and support of every one who is interested in building up the State of Oregon.

L-CiiC^ratiOL Sept 7 Dany Clock Much Cheaper Than Last Veat —Hay is Scarce and High— i Aie Weed-ny Out Poor Stock. "The market value of dairy cows haa about reached the actual value.” says George D Goodhue of the Com mercial Creamery, of Salem, who han been traveling over Eastern Oregon on business connected with the dairy industry. Farmers have been placing a ficti tious value on dairy stock and have been paying prices that were not warranted Values are now about 10 to 20 per cent below where they were 11 year ago A co wthat can tie bought for from »33 to *40 now could not be had for les« than »45 to »5o n year ago The drop in the market value tor first-class dairy cows has not been over 10 ¡>er cent, but has !«»en more on jiourti' grades "A J year ----- ago _ LX ——_ that ' ~ would anything uiilk was in a dairy — demand ______ __ as _____ / cow Farmers have learned iueir mistake and are getting rid of some of the l>oor cows thai are not worth keep ing. This is a good thing for the «lairy industry. Muth of 1 he heavy drop In the arkvl value of stock in Eastern Oregon is due to the scarcity and high price of hay. The drop has not been so great with dairy «-attle as with beef cattle, but the scarcity of feed naturally causes farmers to neg- iect dairying and to try to sell their hay instea«! of feeding it. The con ditions there are entirely temporary, lowever. \ nild winter gcil graz- ng this fall, and the reduction in the number of stock kept will tend to bring down the price of hay. There are some who think that the price is already higher than actual con ditions warrant, and sori? of the stockmen are refusing to buy at pres ent prices.
